WOMEN, ECONOMICS AND THE LABOUR RELATIONS

Series Editor, Dr Martina Topic, L

*** Media and Communication perspectives are particularly welcome***

This series aims to publish monographs and edited collections (in the 
region of 70,000-90,000 words) that tackle the position of women in the 
economy as well as explore labour relations. By labour relations, it 
means studying human relations in work in its broadest sense and 
analysing how labour relations affect social inequality with particular 
reference to women. In terms of social inequality, this series 
particularly welcomes analyses of women and class and broader analyses 
of labour relations. The series will publish perspectives from around 
the world and thus the series fits into the understanding of labour 
relations through both work relations in a Western sense and non-Western 
forms of labour. The series is also interested in studies of the 
position of women in worker’s unions, stance on women’s affairs within 
workers unions, and the position of women and women’s affairs in labour 
movements.

Both historical and contemporary perspectives are welcome. Studies in 
industrial and economic sociology are particularly welcome.

The book series aims to publish books from a variety of perspectives, 
e.g. the series will equally accept both theoretical and empirical 
perspectives. Also, the book series will accept case study perspectives 
on women working in various industries. We would particularly like to 
hear from authors who research the position of women in working-class 
positions, e.g. factory workers, supermarket workers, etc. Studies on 
women in feminized industries (e.g. nursing, teaching, PR) and masculine 
industries (construction, business, finance) are equally welcome.

The main aim of this book series is to deconstruct the position of women 
in the economy and explore labour relation from a feminist perspective. 
All feminist perspectives are welcome, which includes liberal feminist 
perspectives, as well as analyses of the position of women from radical 
and socialist feminist positions. In the case of the latter, we 
particularly welcome proposals that tackle economic system and 
inequalities with special reference to the position of women. The 
proposed books should particularly focus on analysing structural 
problems that bring about inequality, the distinctiveness of women’s 
contributions to the economy, work conditions and masculinities in 
organizations and wider societies and differences between men and women. 
Besides, books that tackle economic systems and link this to the 
position of women are also welcome.
